We hope that all of our children and families who celebrated Eid over the weekend had a very happy time. Eid-ul-Fitr took place during our summer holidays.

We would like to have an opportunity to value and recognise the importance of Eid for our Muslim families and so this Friday 10 October we would like to invite all of the children to come in their party clothes and/or their Eid clothes.

Teachers will have class/stage parties in the afternoon. If you want your child to bring in snacks for sharing these will be distributed at the end of the day. Please remember – NO NUTS.

Thank you for your cooperation with this.
